Arsenal’s Premier League fixtures for the 2025/26 season have been confirmed. Mikel Arteta’s side will start the new campaign with an away fixture against Manchester United.
The game at Old Trafford will take place on Sunday, August 17, with a 4:30pm kick-off against Ruben Amorim’s team. Arsenal’s first home game of the season at the Emirates Stadium takes place six days later as newly-promoted Leeds United make the trip to the capital.
In what is a very tricky start to the season, Arsenal then have four huge games in a row as they play four of last season’s top seven. That nightmare run of fixtures starts with a huge game at Anfield against title rivals Liverpool.
The Gunners then have successive home games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, before then travelling to Newcastle United at the end of September. Arteta’s men also have a tough run in late November as they face back-to-back London derbies against Tottenham and Chelsea.
The first North London Derby of the season takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, November 22, with Arsenal travelling across the capital to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge the following weekend. Over the festive period, Arsenal play Brighton & Hove Albion at home on Saturday, December 27, Aston Villa at home on Tuesday, December 30 and Bournemouth away on Saturday, January 3.
Arsenal have another midweek match four days later when they host Liverpool at the Emirates. After facing Tottenham and Chelsea in successive games in the first part of the season, the same happens again in February as Arsenal go to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, February 21 before hosting Chelsea on Saturday, February 28.
Late April sees Arsenal play games against top-four rivals Manchester City and Newcastle United in quick succession at such a crucial point in the season with so much at stake. The Gunners do have a kind run-in, though, as their final four games are Fulham at home, West Ham away, Burnley at home and Crystal Palace away.
